a multiplayer game of parenting and civilization building

The game takes place in the realm of thought experiments.
It is "in the future," because the thought experiment is about the future.
But this world is obviously not earth.... it is 50,000x bigger than earth, and it has no oceans. So there was no apocalypse here. There are no ruins.
The world is the imaginary space inside which this thought experiment plays out:
"If we had to start over from scratch, but kept all of our knowledge, how long would it take us to get back to iPhones?"

But, did these people keep all of modern people's knowledge?
Garlic has a small number of uses compared to what garlic gets used for in real life, and it isn't like many of the players haven't cooked before.
There's no such thing as beef.
Pies exist, but how did people forget how to make a sandwich? And I mean the game consists of a lot of women... women forgot how to make sandwiches? But then they didn't keep "our" knowledge.
And there exist plenty of more examples where in game objects can't get used like real life objects.
It sure doesn't seem like an honest experiment.
